Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A New Humanity or the Easter Island
Whatever may be said against Wilbrandt's novel by opponents or admirers of Nietzsche, who might accuse the author of having failed to give a true picture of the German philosopher, it must be admitted that in the delineation of the other characters, especially of Schweitzer and Malwine, the author has been successful. Where, however, Wilbrandt's artistic excellence becomes manifest is in the fact that he remains entirely objective, and never allows himself to be carried away so far as to express an opinion for or against philosophical ideas which had created such a stir in Germany. In the con?ict between Adler and Westenberger, between the 'joy of living and the spirit of renunciation and craving for annihilation, the author modestly remains behind the scenes. He carefully avoids the didactic tone.
